Hey, i have the directory phpnuke where i installed phpnuke 7.5 and i want to make that come up first (make it my index page). I am unsure how to do so.

Please help! This is quite urgent.

To save annoying moving of files to your public_html just do a redirect the following tells you how:

Just goto cpanel>manage redirects>add a ridirect with the following properties, (if you don't have an index.html in your public_html directory create one, it doesn't matter if its blank):

http://yoursite.trap17.com/index.html --->>>>>>
http://yoursite.trap17.com/yournukedirectory/index.php

Set as a permanent redirect and add.

Hope this helps

Or simply add "DirectoryIndex filename" w/o quotes in .htaccess, replace filename with the file you want as your index of course.
